charles looked scared when he saved that. Not inspiring confidence.

Classic Momo poor touch

[bigfooty]

Chelsea expose our lack of defensive cover on the left, Aurelio outnumbered, good cut back to Kalou and his powerful shot is blocked wide by Charlie.

Corner is low but poorly cleared. Eventually we get it away, some good short passing, Crouch trys to lift it over for Voronin but ball is overhit and Voronin was never getting there.

Carra good interception after Lucas mistake, Momo loses the ball with his usual silky first touch, goes in studs up, no booking as he just made contact on the ball.

Aurelio releases Babel, does really well but he can't pick the right pass and Chelsea clear with men arriving in the box.

that was a lovely balll from aurelio

[Red Chilli]

Good run by Babel, shame he hasn't got any "real pace"

[captainfog]

Babel.........the sublime and then the ridiculous ha ha ha

Go Go Super Ryan Babel!

[bigfooty]

Game opened up for a bit there at both ends. Defensively we both look suspect.

[Red Chilli]

Lucas is a competitive little fecker isn't he?

[bigfooty]

Lucas and Momo both getting stuck in when the tackle is there to be made. Xabi too.

[bigfooty]

Xabi looking sharp.

[Red_Al_77]

Momo is clumsy and Babel looks our only outlet.

[captainfog]

Voronin struggles out wide a bit. It just highlights the dirth of quality wide men at the club.

[bigfooty]

Yeah, in this formation you need someone with pace, dribbling ability on the sides of Crouch. Babel has that, Voronin not so much.

[Red Chilli]

Voronin struggles out wide a bit. It just highlights the dirth of quality wide men at the club.

Doubt there's much in it in terms of cost of players though tonight

Forgot the smiley

Arbeloa is playing well I reckon. Good in the tackle.
